Performance and Cache Settings Guide

Use PWA Cache Tools

In the WordPress dashboard, go to VH360 PWA & App.

The PWA plugin includes tools for clearing PWA caches, unregistering the service worker, resetting the device, and resetting the install banner dismissal.

These tools run per device in the browser.

Clear PWA Caches

Use Clear PWA Caches when the app or site is showing stale PWA content on the current device.

After clearing caches, reload the site and test again.

Unregister the Service Worker

Use Unregister Service Worker when the current device needs a fresh PWA service worker registration.

After unregistering, reload the site so the service worker can register again.

Reset Everything on the Current Device

Use Reset Everything when clearing caches alone does not fix a PWA issue on the current device.

This is useful during setup, testing, and support.

Reset the Install Banner

Use Reset Install Banner Dismissal when the install prompt was dismissed and you want to show it again on the current device.

General Cache Troubleshooting

If frontend changes do not appear:

1. Clear the site’s cache plugin if one is active.
2. Clear browser cache.
3. Use the PWA cache tools if the PWA is enabled.
4. Test in a private browser window.

Troubleshooting

The PWA still shows old content

Clear PWA caches, then unregister the service worker on the same device and reload the site.

The install banner does not appear again

Use the reset install banner option and test on the same device.

A design change does not show on mobile

Clear site cache, browser cache, and PWA cache, then retest.
